The Grace Farms Foundation, a New Canaan, Connecticut-based non-profit with a multifarious mission focused on faith, justice, and community, has announced that it will officially open its new complex on October 9. 

Louvre-Lens, a luminous outpost of the venerable Paris museum, opened in mid-December in the northern French town of Lens.

The new branch of the Louvre couldn't be more different from the museum's iconic Paris home.

Located on 75 acres of preserved land in New Canaan, Connecticut, the 65,000-square-foot transparent volume will serve as a headquarters for the nonprofit Grace Farms Foundation.
